T61 problem with game resolution

#1 Post by Dawnbreaker » Fri Oct 12, 2012 10:06 am

Hey guys, I own a 15.6 T61 (16:10 resolution) but when I play any game [so far Fifa07, 08, Battlefield Vietnam, and Call of Duty Series], it plays on a 4:3 resolution. I've had the newest nvidia drivers installed, any ideas what could cause the problem?

It's probably a game specific setting, your graphic drivers display how the app tells them to display, if the game isn't written to support 16:10, then it won't do it. Check what the game supports, you may find you're using the default setup and you just need to adapt to your screen resolution for it to display properly.


Good luck

Many games allow modifying the conf files to custom resolutions, I personally have played Call of Duty (1 and 2) with widescreen resolutions.
